Designer Tip: Embossing images gives them a bright/clear appearance and adds an element of texture with the raised image. Add even more texture by cutting out images and foam taping them to the stamped image.

• Cardmaker's™ Earth's Palette Creative Pack
• Poppy Clear Stamp
• Black Super Fine Embossing Powder
• VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• Heat Gun

2. Stamp/emboss the poppy image on a 4”x 5 5/8” rectangle of green sponged paper. Stamp the words above and below with black ink.
3. Stamp/emboss a second image of the flowers and cut out only the blossoms and bud. Foam tape over the previously embossed images.
4. Stamp/emboss the dragonfly on blue paper and foam tape to the top right.
